A football fan stands to win more than £1million this weekend and all he had to do was copy Mark Wahlberg’s Premier League predictions.

The actor was a guest on Football Focus and was asked for his thoughts on ‘Waterford v Manchester United’, which is live on talkSPORT and ‘Manchester City v Fullman’ among others.

And his predictions were enough for Charlton fan @Nj_watts on Twitter to lump 75p on each result. If his accumulator is correct then that’s £1,067,430 he could claim.

But why 75p and not £1, we hear you ask? Well, someone made that point to the supporter, who said: “Just to get my balance to an even number. Plus I don’t want to bankrupt @Coral when this comes in,” explaining that if he does win, he’ll be done out of £67,000 as the bookie has a cap of £1m.
